how all these places that used to be where freedom was born or where people went to be free (like CA in the 1800s) have become so anti-freedom. Disgusting.
What's amazing to me is people staying there....

If the working (tax paying) people would head east, that issue would begin a much needed correction.
Better they stay where they are so as not to infect the rest

I have told them time and again to get the hell out but they have kids there. They have good jobs, they have homes etc. They are gun people but won't move.
Its more than that.

. . . in a deadly force encounter. If all involved were reasonable there'd be no bad outcomes.
Any time the word "reasonable" appears in anything related to police encounters it's code for "the perp gets to fire first and then the cop can consider other options" . . . while ducking the incoming.
I really like this line . . .

"By creating new crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program."
An open admission that they'd be "creating new crimes" for the purpose of expanding the bureaucracy as well as filling their coffers.
They're not simply stupid . . . they're evil incarnate.

built in the state. When I saw that news today it did not surprise me in the least. They seem to be the magnet for fruits and nuts.
Back to the main topic. My big question for the African Big Five issue is how will they enforce it?
all taxidermied mounts have to come into the states via a

customs office, Most guys that hunt in Africa have their mounts done by one of the companies that specialize in African mounts plus those companies take care of a lot of the paperwork which saves them a lot of hassle. Also this bill would not cover only the Big 5. It lists just about everything in Africa from the little 15 lb Duikers to Zebras and Giraffe.
My mounts usually come thru SEA-TAC which is the customs office in Seattle-Tacoma. They inspect each crate coming in and if this bill passes they would have the authority to refuse admittance to California. Another customs office is in L.A. which would simply refuse to release the mounts or even worse confiscate them.
Also if you read the whole bill, by the way I read it the state would have a reward of $500 for a person turning in a friend or someone that owned African mounts. So word would get out pretty quick. Also licensed taxidermists in the state would have to advise the state of anyone shipping hides and horns to them to do the mounting. So it would be a lose-lose proposition.
